History

Historical Context

The Industrial Revolution, starting around 1760, marked a significant shift from agrarian economies to industrialized societies, particularly in Britain. This transformation led to job displacement, with over 1.5 million manufacturing jobs lost in the U.S. during the early 2000s due to automation.
